The weakness of the US charge against Assange is shocking. The allegation he tried (and failed?) to help crack a password during their world-famous reporting has been public for nearly a decade: it is the count Obama's DOJ refused to charge, saying it endangered journalism. twitter.com/ggreenwald/sta…

He skipped bail on rape charges, that case can now be resumed. Protest the US charges but unless you ALSO call for him to face trial for rape, you're implying that his status as a charged rapist is less important than his status as a victim of US overreach - how about HIS victim?

The US legal system is there to protect the US government, hide its secrets and enforce its will. It is NOT there to protect the little people or their 'rights' - that's just a tired, old marketing campaign. Journalism and free speech? Yeah, that too... pic.twitter.com/5PImRHqF77
